      Bit of cricket news around.

      England got smoked at home in the first test against Pakistan to the tune of 9 wickets.

      Kane's Sunrisers made the IPL final, he top scored for them as they made a not-terrible 178. But Fucking Shane Watson went bang! and smoked 117 off 57 to easily lead the Super Kings to the title.

      And spot fixing is back in the news. An Al-Jezeera documentary highlights an England v India test, and and Australia v India test in India where allegedly batsmen took money to fix scoring rates. Denials all-round of course, but there does look to be a serious lack of anything even remotely resembling evidence (despite the specific tests being played). Don't really expect anything to come of it.

        That test loss caps a pretty miserable sporting weekend for the poms.
        There was a bit of chat regarding the Pakistan players wearing smart watches too. Another way for the bookies to get in touch with a player no doubt..

        Fucking Watson.

          That England batting lineup is one of their worst ever. Nowhere near test standard

              Had been tracking Kane's great season via Cricinfo for the last few weeks - bloody Watson.

                  Watched the AJ doco last night and it is going to be really difficult to prove the England and Australia fix without more evidence (which of course they may have). A slow run rate on the first morning of a test in India is not really suspicious and with no paper trail, denials will be the order of the day (although interesting that there seemed to be a common thread of England quotes that the "claims were outrageous" which appears to be a carefully chosen phrase - they aren't saying it's not true just that it is an outrageous claim.

                  Anyway the alleged perpetrators would have to be Australia's openers from that test (Warner & Renshaw) and England's top 3 (Cook, Jennings, Root).

                      @nzzp Not much integrity in cricket anywhere these days.

                      If the allegations are true, guys can pick up US50-100K just for batting slowly in a test match when they would bat slowly anyway .....

                                fark it, I laughed out loud. Well played, sir.

                                Look, any opportunity to needle the Aussie cricket team is going to be grabbed. Grabbing the moral high ground despite real evidence is what cricket is all about. THERE'S A LINE AND YOU CROSSED IT. BURN IN HELL OCKER.

                                    if I go on to Blackcaps.co.nz (NZC.co.nz) the next internation fixture is June 1 2019 at Cricket World Cup.

                                    If I go on to Cricinfo, trying to navigate to see fixtures is also a nightmare.

                                    Anyone know when the Black Caps are playing next? What series are coming up?

                                          Meanwhile the team that plays in sandpaper coloured uniforms is at Lords facing England without DaveyDumbDumb and Wonderboy.

                                          Doing OK, although as I typed that another wicket fell. Now they have to bat out the last 8 and a half overs at 7 down.

                                          197/7

                                            Another Convict goes down. Maybe 230 would be maximum outcome from here?

                                                To be fair our recent record in ODIs is pretty good. This is usual in the lead up to the World Cup where we then revert to being pants.

                                                        163/6 with 20 overs to go. All batters out. Can't lose from here surely ...:)

                                                        Ooh cool, will turn the tele on and watch them bash each other with crutches

                                                        Crutches and a wheelchair? Weird combo 😛

                                                              First ever loss to Scotland?

                                                                                  Fuck being a bowler in this day and age. When will the balance equal out again.....That score is just obscene
